Re: Your Favorite Install Tool?

[Matt Ion <soundy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Heheh, what DON'T I use it for?  Driving smaller screws for mounting
things... indispensible for security screws on dome cameras and the like
(especially one model that has eight Torx-head screws)... screw
terminals in power supplies... it's a lot easier to stick in a pocket
and pack around than a regular screw gun,  great when up on a ladder
working on in-ceiling enclosures or putting up J-mounts.
